I Ching reading for June 28, 2019
The present is embodied in Hexagram 11 - T'ai (Peace): We see the lesser gone and greatness come upon us. There will be good fortune, with progress and success.
The second line, undivided, shows one who can bear with the uncultivated, cross the Ho without a boat, not forget the distant, and have no selfish friendships. Thus does he prove himself acting in accordance with the course of the due Mean.
The situation is evolving slowly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
The future is embodied in Hexagram 36 - Ming I (Darkening of the Light): It will be advantageous to realize the difficulty of the position, and maintain firm correctness.
